"As part of the change, Anthropic is updating the structure of its core technical group, bringing the company's product-engineering team into closer contact with the infrastructure and inference teams. As CTO, Patil will oversee compute, infrastructure, inference, and a variety of other engineering tasks. In the chief architect role, McCandlish will work on pre-training and large-scale model training, extending much of his previous work. Both Patil and McCandlish will report to Anthropic President Daniela Amodei"
"At the same time, the popularity of Anthropic's Claude products has already put the company's infrastructure under significant strain. In July, the company introduced new rate limits to Claude Code, with an eye towards power users who had been running the app "continuously in the background, 24/7." Under the new rules, users are limited to between 240 to 480 hours of Sonnet usage each week, and 24 to 40 hours of Opus 4 usage, depending on infrastructure strain."
Rahul Patil has been named chief technical officer at Anthropic and started earlier this week, succeeding co-founder Sam McCandlish, who becomes Chief Architect. The company is reorganizing its core technical group to bring product-engineering closer to infrastructure and inference. As CTO, Patil will oversee compute, infrastructure, inference, and other engineering tasks. McCandlish will focus on pre-training and large-scale model training. Both report to Anthropic President Daniela Amodei. Anthropic faces heavy infrastructure competition from OpenAI and Meta, creating pressure to optimize for speed and power. Popularity of Claude has strained infrastructure, prompting new rate limits.
